Soylent Green is a solo project spanning a wide variety of genres, namely Electronica (primarily trance) and multiple Rock genres. As the creator, audio engineer, and only member in Soylent Green, plays a huge selection of different instruments including, but not limited to: guitar, hand-drums, mandolin, lap dulcimer, bass guitar, keys, etc. He is currently attending a university (GC&SU), so he doesn't have much time right now to compose and record.
Why this name?
"Soylent Green" is a very seldom used phrase, that translates to "the meat of humans." It is most recognized as the title of a 1973 Sci-Fi movie starring Charlton Heston, about a food plant using humans as the source of meat. The movie has nothing to do with choosing the title, however.
Do you play live?
Currently no live gigs.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Helps more people find out about new and better music. Most of the stuff played on the radio is sh*** these days, so the internet is the best option.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Most likely. Today it's a necessary evil if a band is planning on making a living out of performing.
Band History:
The idea for Soylent Green came into my mind when he lived in Suwanee, Georgia. However, due to having absolutely no free time, not much material was produced, and no full pieces recorded. In Milledgeville, however, there's more of an opportunity.
Your influences?
I grew up on Classic Rock, Blues, 90s Rock, (no screaming) Metal, Electronica (Trance, House, Ambient, Drum and Bass), Punk, Funk, Alternative, Acoustic, Hard Rock, and Progressive/Experimental. The songs have some bits and pieces from all of those, but mostly Trance, Rock, and Alternative Rock.
Favorite spot?
There was this one spot in Hawaii, that was basically on the top of a cliff, right near the edge. It was somewhere around the beginning of the Road to Hana. There were absolutely no artificial lights around, and no ambient sound other than the ones created by nature and fauna. The sky had no clouds, and the entire sky was just illuminated with billions upon trillions of stars. Beautiful, to say the least.
